*Official* Match 30 - Canada v New Zealand

[GGG]

I really think that both games played today were fixed by ICC!!!

How?

ICC probably instructed Australia and NZ to stretch their games against minnows as much as possible.

They just wanted the 50/50 format to be more entertaining, which would have not been if Aus and NZ borught their A game to bowl out the opposition in less than 30 overs.

I have a nice tin-foil hat for sale that you might be interested in.

But in all that nonsensical rambling, there was one rock-solid point that NZ might not have been coming into this tournament with every intention of doing their very best...

How?

Indeed.

Nah, How is a gun. Give him another game against England or South Africa and you'll see, you'll all see!

If McCullum's knee gets any worse we may indeed see How again.

Hahaha, awesome. Good stats.

Nah, How is a gun. Give him another game against England or South Africa and you'll see, you'll all see!

Ewww. No way. If he plays again i'll be pissed.I'd rather have anyone in the squad wicket keep just so How doesn't play.

At this stage I would rather than John Wright play ahead of him.

IF Mills had not have broken down the game may have gone differently.

Not sure why I am responding to this.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

How come that list of expensive overs doesn't include the bowler name? Seems an illogical omission to me.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

They hadn't update the list on cricinfo, so I just copied down the 6 highest and the 4 new ones.

BAMM!!
